- Опубликовано: 13 сен 2024
- Here we have my older Brother Damian out on his first drive after passing his C+E driving test he is a little nervous but everyone is at the beginning. This is the truck I drive with the company I work for who kindly arranged for this to happen today, big thanks to
BB CHRISTOFFERSEN Transport👌🏻
Damian has wanted to drive these trucks for over 20 years and after a few difficult times in life he has built himself up and achieved great things over the last 2 years and we are all extremely proud of him and he will make a great driver in time.
I'd like everyone that watches this short video to give him a thumbs up 👍and a well done in the comments for not giving up and seeing it through to the end.

Id like to thank everyone that has stopped past our small channel and for watching our videos and also to all the new Subscribers.

We only make these videos for fun and to show some of the things we get up to on a weekly basis and give a brief look at some of our projects we have going on. Any tips or advice along the way will be welcomed as this is a complete new thing for us.
Leave us a comment let us know where you are from be nice to know where videos are viewed and we will get back to you. Again thanks for watching.
As always, slow and steady wins the race.
@@DavidThomas-qu8mh Thanks for watching 👌🏻
I’ve been driving class 2 for the last 5 years and have just started driving class 1’s and for the last 2wks i’ve been out on the roads,insane the difference between them and it’s unreal the paranoia of thinking is the trailer hooked up right every time i set off 🙈😂
New to your channel but will give you a follow
@@baggedr32mk5 Huge thanks for the follow. I remember those early days in driving class 1 very well, if I had £1 for every time I had to jump out and triple check I had done things right I’d be a rich man😂.
Beast machine. Quality 👌🏴
Thanks for watching Jamie and for subscribing to the channel !👌🏻
Fair play for given the man a chance. The only way to learn is in the seat.
Definitely is the only way to learn, thanks for watching.
God Bless and safe Driving
Well done 👏
Thanks for watching Michael. 👍
God Bless and Safe Driving
Thanks for watching Paul 👍🏻
Decent truck for his first run out r620 best I got in my first couple of years was an r440
How did you find the 440 ? Ever any overheating issues?
Well done to your brother. Great truck !
Thanks for watching, great truck for first day on the the road 👌🏻
Nice one Damien. After a few days on your own, you'll get into your stride.
Best of luck in your new career.
Thanks for watching Pat, yes he will do fine after he gets away on his own, few more casual jobs and he should be ready for the road 👌🏻
Pat i’m 2wks into being on my own and i’m still like a rabbit in the headlights 🙈😂
Always been an ambition of mine to be a class1 driver and finally achieved it after 5yrs of driving class 2’s
Congratulations on passing your Class 1 well done 👏🏻👌🏻
Proper job, well done lad on not giving up and getting to where you want to be!
20 years dreaming and now he can live it 👌🏻
This was me 21 years ago Well done its great to see people coming into the job. He will soon get into his stride
Hi Martin thanks for watching. I’m around 20 years on the trucks myself hard to know how time past so quickly.
Damian has waited a long time for the opportunity and hugely appreciated the chance. He will make an excellent driver once he get a few more kilometres under his belt.
@@RedShedProjectsScotland won't be long before he's a miserable driver like the rest after a few years mark my words.
@@paulrollings2791 I hear you on that one definitely is some miserable sods in this game but I’m at it 20 years and still manage a smile to all the customers on a daily basis, if the job doesn’t suit they should move on.
@@RedShedProjectsScotland I did 38 years I'm glad it's over the job served its purpose, and i hope i did. What ever you do don't get stuck in the rut, it can be a very sad existence if you're not careful.
What went wrong after 6 months Neil ? Just the job in general ? I feel the company’s have a lot to do with drivers attitude towards the job due to how they get treated, thankfully the company I’m with treat us with respect and generally leave us to get on with it.
Just like to say a huge thank you to the 200+ new Subscribers to the channel over the past week taking us up to 450 subscribers in a few months, and for this video to go over 30k views is just massive for our small channel. Also thanks to those that took time to comment and like the short video.
Next update for the channel is back to the old Zetor 6711 to fit new rear brake shoes and address hydraulics problem.
He can handle it ! ;)
Done really well for his first attempt.
@@RedShedProjectsScotland He'll be kind to the tyres too ;-)
Brilliant video, Never late in a V8
Cheers pal 👌🏻
That moment you back under your first trailer and go, hope this don,t come through the back of the cab.
Then stop just outside the yard to double check its all connected properly lol
Good luck mate nice to see new lads coming into the industry🚛💨💨💨
Thanks for watching Andy, aye I know what you mean with backing under the trailer for the first time it’s takes a minute to get used to the bang 😂 he will get used to it in time.
Well done drive 👌🏻
Thanks for watching the video 👍🏻
Good luck bud you'll need it on a lot ot trips .
Thanks for watching George 👍🏻
Good honest video and nice to see a proper newbie 👍
Thanks Bernard for taking the time to watch the video and comment, yes it’s great to see guys still wanting to join the industry👍🏻
@@RedShedProjectsScotland it’s nice to see “normal “ trucking videos and especially with him being new as loved the normality showing the walk round and making him do it.👍
@@bernardscott1783 Not everyone get the same opportunity unfortunately. I’d say most are just handed a set of keys and wished good luck. Damian’s my brother and has been through a lot over the years so it was my pleasure to point him in the right direction and help him out.
Well done 👏🏻
watching this in Torbanlea, Queensland Australia. loved the vlog keep them coming, stay safe
Welcome to the channel Graham nice to see our videos reach Australia, just editing another video in my Scania 4 series should be uploaded this evening.
Think I need a day or 2 with you I’d love to do my test 😍👍🏻
Welcome to come down with your Dad some weekend to see it, I’ve still to sort a suspension issue with my own Scania then il get you a few lessons 😂👌🏻
@@RedShedProjectsScotland will take you up on that once I’ve finished harvest 👍🏻👍🏻 think I’ve seen your lorry up at my work.
@@MASSYMADMAN Maybe last year I might have been up past, I’ve not been at the barley this year so far. I’m never usually on a bulk trailer always with a flat but the other drivers will probably be in about to your work. Definitely come down any weekend after harvest 👍
@@RedShedProjectsScotland 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
well done damien tats a nice unit to start driving in i started out over 30 years ago on ivecos
Thanks for watching Tom, aye he is a lucky lad getting to hit the road with a motor like that! I was 15 years before it came to me.
Can't wait to get out on the road in one of these.. passed my theory and cpc 3 days ago. Just on the waiting list for my test now.. very nice scania. They are my favourite.. viewing from South wales
You haven’t long to wait now Keelan! we’ll done on passing your tests and thanks for watching the video 👌🏻
@@RedShedProjectsScotland no waiting lists are shorter than I though should be on the road by October/November
Aye a bonny motor at bb like . Hud er chappin loon ul dee weel we bb . Is claypipe aye on the road . Dis onyone ken . Cheers in advance .
Thanks Ian it’s still knocking in 3k every week. Aye he is still holding the company together not so much down the road these days, he’s doing fine enough il tell him you were asking for him 👍🏻
Remember my 1st day and feeling nervous about everything,, but you kinda get into the groove fairly quickly and a routine soon becomes the norm... best of luck in your future trucking .....
Thanks for watching Michael, yes we were all nervous on the first day, its only when we get let loose on our own do we figure things out. After a few 100k the novelty will soon wear off but he is fairly delighted with himself.
nice one, great vlog, helping me out as I am currently training myself, I hope when I pass I can find a boss like you down here in hull. keep up the great work.
Thanks for watching Tony, keep up the training you will get there in time. I’m the normal driver of this truck Damian is my brother I’m not quite management status yet 😂 although I’d treat my own drivers as I’d like to be treated myself….with respect.
@@RedShedProjectsScotland Well said sir ... I'd say you're a right decent man all told ... Don't change
@@johnbarry4562 Thanks for the kind words, it’s difficult enough within the industry and the jobs seem get more demanding all the time. Without drivers sticking together and helping each other out it would be a lot worse I’m afraid. Good to see new lads interested in joining the industry.
@@RedShedProjectsScotland ...no need for thanks my man !! And as you said , we're all here to help one another ...I went through some very rough years , and at one time I briefly thought that I might never drive a truck again . But it was the desire to get back in an artic that pulled me outta the hole I put myself in ... Here we are , 4 years back in the saddle and rooting for Damian ..Any obstacle can be overcome with sheer determination if you want something badly enough .. Keep us posted Pls ....
Go Damian
Nice truck.
Thanks James, it’s not to bad for its age.
Get the gaffer to give you a pair of gloves mate or all the dirt and grease off the the airlines and jobs ends up in your cab, Good luck and have a safe one on the road.
Thanks for watching, he definitely should have been wearing gloves 🧤. We use a greaseless lube plate on our fifth wheels, Airlines are 100% grease free thankfully. But gloves should always be worn…can’t have the sandwiches getting dirty 👍🏻
Not a bad motor for your 1st job mine Was B reg F12 to call it a wreck would have been the biggest compliment ever paid to a motor…Pulling 38tonne of coal from all the pits on the Durham coal face…mental back then 5 loads a day 75mph everywhere and anywhere the road was flat enough…proper trucking not saying it was safer but it was better in my opinion
Hard going for you lads back then working with the kit you had! Must have been some sensation doing 75mph in a loaded motor. Be absolute carnage if they let them do that nowadays. Thanks for watching the video 👍🏻
@@RedShedProjectsScotland we used to call it the whacky Races some days we used to do 13 loads a day from wearmouth colliery to tyne dock coal terminal used to run from the cab to to close the tail board and back to the cab again last load out of wearmouth had to be on the weigh bridge going in by 16.00 or they turned you away made a big difference that extra load every day in wage packet had to go some believe me …It was experience working for JD Maw bloke was notorious legendary actually not in a good way
Remember my tipper driving days around Aberdeenshire area, it was the same “wacky races” but everyone was hourly paid and still flying on. Not sure I’d like back to the tippers , prefare the flat work for variety.
Great vid . He should wore his gloves .hope he doing good
Indeed he should have Niall, he also got into my truck with dirty boots 🥾 he has much to learn, thanks for watching.
No no mucky boots lol .no worries mate put up more videos pls driving trucks and all 👍
I’ve a short update on the Red Scania coming later this evening 👍🏻
Nice one m8 watch out for that 👍
Would love to work with you guys. Any chance you're looking for drivers?
Nothing available currently, who do you drive for now ? Thanks for watching.
Yeah working with a class 2 for 4+ years but looking for a change.
@@antonioribeiro7956 what area are you in ? I could maybe advise on other possibilities.
Crimond. The other side of the main road from your yard.
Ah I see, so you will see our trucks everyday. Fully staffed just now but put your details into the office in case anything comes up.
When you coming to asda falkirk to pick up pallets,see your boys in here all the time,good luck mate,ill look out for you👍👍
Funny enough I’m there just now 😂
@@RedShedProjectsScotland no chance, im in here
@@RedShedProjectsScotland 🤣🤣🤣🤣I see you mate
Bay 4 mate,white volvo🤣
@@francoandjimtherotties2592 haha tidy pal! I see you sitting there, it’s a small world eh 😂👌🏻
Ye rotten sod! Ye put him out wi pipes on his first solo run....... Grand job there. Subscribed & see ye next visit!
Aye but i had to tie it down for him, food was lovely many thanks, see you next time.
Mind give the videos a thumbs up
@@RedShedProjectsScotland Glad ye enjoyed yer lunch. I gied it the thumbs up, & will watch a few mair oer the next wee while. How's yer brother fairin now?
He has not came to driving full time just yet but I’m sure he will in time.
@@RedShedProjectsScotland He'll no come for the money, that's for sure.
How is geordie is he back driving.... and mark is he still trucking
Geordies keeping things running at the yard these days an Mark has settled in well.
@@RedShedProjectsScotland I’m glad Geordie is ok ... you have a new subscriber here my friend
Thanks pal much appreciated 👌🏻
My dream job sadly having progressive terminal cancers I'll never get to experience it
Sorry to hear that good buddy, keep with the channel il try post plenty on the trucks. Thoughts are with you I’ve suffered huge losses lately myself.
5th wheel is too far forward …slide it back some
Frame at rear of the cab leaves it a bit tight for connecting airlines..but 5th wheels set just right for our needs. Just need to watch my waistline.
0 dislikes, nice
Very much appreciated, just highlighting first day for a new driver. More to it than he imagined at first. Thanks for watching 👍🏻
Ah well got to 6k views before getting a dislike 😂🤷🏻♂️
Only 1 Dislike
I’m happy with that, video has done really good for views compared to others.
looked a good drive but if a fresh driver came to me after a job and he cudnt do walk round cheeks properly he wudnt leave the yard
Good comment Stu, I can’t agree more with what you are saying. All new drivers should be assessed and where possible spend a few days with an experienced driver before being let out on their own. Damian is my brother and this is the motor I drive at work hence why he comes across a bit nervous also me poking a camera at him definitely didn’t help.
He’s not ready …I’m sorry he’s too confused 🤔
I Disagree he’s been doing great. He will make a good Driver.
Put gloves on!
Yes he really should have had them on, you will be pleased to know he is wearing them today.
No worse than a greasy steering wheel lol
Nothing worse at all William, we don’t use grease on our 5th wheels we us greaseless lube plates so not a bit of grease in sight thankfully. But can’t be having mucky hands for the sandwiches so gloves is a must 😂
J
That’s a nice bit of kit
Sadly gone now and replaced with a Renault 🤦🏻♂️
She lives in north wales now 🤙🏼
